Hmm.. nice patch Jag, but I'm not sure that we want to fill Django up with markup engines. I'm going to mark this as wontfix, but if someone really disagrees with me, please reopen this ticket with design-decision-needed.

I would venture to say that it is a good idea to include additional markup engines:

Currently there isn't a straightforward way to add your own engines. You would have to patch django or copy the markup filter code to your project and rework it that way. This seems a bit clumsy, and in time would create duplicate efforts among various developers. What do the core developers think?
